(...) Huh, interesting. That would be cool. I'm realllly skeptical though -- I've seen older optical mice, and it's not just the required special mouse pad that is annoying -- they just plain don't work very well. And according to the CNN article, (...) (27 years ago, 25-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)
